In the upcoming episodes of Ici Tout Commence airing from April 21 to April 25, 2025, viewers are plunged into one of the most emotionally devastating weeks the series has ever seen. At the heart of this storm is Vic (Lou Ladegaillerie), whose fragile health and dark secrets set off a chain reaction of events that ends in unthinkable tragedy.
Vic, secretly battling cancer, makes a desperate move—she turns to Médi (Marvin Pellegrino), who himself has faced this brutal illness in the past, and begs for something impossible. Though the exact nature of her request remains shrouded in mystery, the implications are clear: she’s at the edge, and her actions are increasingly erratic and urgent. Doria (Alexia Barlier), the practitioner Vic has placed her trust in, continues to muddy the waters, pushing unconventional healing paths and creating confusion and conflict within the institute.
Meanwhile, Vic’s sister, Hortense (Catherine Davydzenka), has remained unaware of her sibling’s secret battle. That veil starts to lift mid-week, as Vic finally begins to open up, cracking her emotional shell and stepping into a moment of truth. But with truth comes risk—and Vic’s fragile world begins to unravel.
Around her, the rest of the institute is equally tumultuous. Lionel (Lucien Belvès) makes a dramatic exit early in the week, quitting his role and seemingly seeking a new direction in life. His relationship with Eliott (Lorine Nouvet) is flourishing, at least for now, and he’s walking on air—but is it the calm before another storm?
Malik (Oscar Al Hafiane), on the other hand, appears to be sinking deeper into dangerous waters. Faced with moral compromise, he symbolically “sells his soul to the devil”—a cryptic line that hints at future treachery or desperate ambition. Is he about to cross a line from which there’s no return?
Elsewhere, Doria is playing a dangerous game, misleading those around her while continuing to pull strings in the background. Her actions could either save Vic or doom her.
Alice (Noémie Zeitoun) becomes increasingly entranced by Stanislas (Hubert Roulot), seemingly hanging on his every word. Is this infatuation or manipulation? Stanislas, enigmatic as ever, appears to be working an angle—his charm masking motives yet to be revealed.
As Thursday approaches, tensions peak. Vic, confronted by Hortense, can no longer hide. She breaks down and tells her sister the truth. The emotional confrontation is raw, heart-wrenching, and shatters both women. But instead of healing, this moment of revelation opens the door to something far darker.
In the final episode of the week, Vic begins to “burn the candle at both ends.” She’s unraveling physically and emotionally, as the stress and secrets take their toll. At the institute, life continues—Inès (Romy Duran) sets her sights on a new career path, while Clotilde (Elsa Lunghini) and Joachim (Janis Abric) get caught up in their own drama, spinning elaborate tales and possibly deluding themselves.
But then comes the final, horrifying twist.
Vic is found dead—in her own room. Humiliated, alone, and brutally murdered. It’s a death that sends shockwaves through the institute. Who would do this? Why? The betrayal is personal, the act vicious. It’s clear that someone close to her—someone she trusted—played a role in her downfall.
As the week ends, viewers are left with more questions than answers: Who killed Vic? Was her death the culmination of her illness, or was it something far more sinister? And how will Hortense, finally reunited with her sister in truth, cope with this devastating loss?
The narrative threads weave a tangled web of deceit, heartbreak, ambition, and love. With so many characters operating in shades of gray, nothing is certain anymore—except that Ici Tout Commence is diving deep into some of its darkest, most emotionally intense storytelling yet.
